Neither Armstead is yet in the directory for what it's worth.

I don't think that it works that way at Notre Dame. They have both confirmed that they have been accepted into Notre Dame. Gunner didn't show up until today.

Saw that. I don't know if Arik is intentionally trying to make his eventual announcement more dramatic by adding more schools to the list, but both Gus and Armond have explicitly stated that Cal is out for Arik. Not to mention that Armond can't transfer to Cal or Oregon (and maybe not Auburn).

I still don't believe Auburn is a major player here.

And who plays Marquette?

From ISD's Waiting on the Armsteads:

Irish Sports Daily is hearing that Notre Dame has some things it needs to iron out on its side and Irish fans will just have to wait to hear the outcome.

 

[Irish2015]

I wonder if that means a numbers crunch or whether its a medical issue with armond.

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

Hmm interesting.
Wonder what needs ironed out?
As the world turns these are the dog days of recruiting.

 

[Chamellion]

Got to keep in mind that basketball plays a factor. Hopefully it helps us out enough to outweigh whatever is going on at Auburn.

Arik Armstead breakdown (Tuesday afternoon)

Latest?

 

[NDdomer2]

Armond may have just provided transcripts this weekend. I don't see admissions getting everything done in one day.

Arik Armstead breakdown (Tuesday afternoon)

Latest?

Sapp still thinks we are the team to beat. Decision as early as today but could drag out a few days.

 

[Rocky2820]

Sapp: "Notre Dame still looks to be the team to beat in this race."

Sapp: "Notre Dame still looks to be the team to beat in this race."

By golly...GITF was right

Another update

 

[Irish Fam]

Arik might wait until the spring/summer to enroll.
Armond has not filed papers to the SEC to be eligible for next season.

That really sucks

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

It doesn't sound like Arik wants to be at Notre Dame, just a guess. The drama with this family is going to drive me nuts.

Arik Armstead update (Tuesday at 4:00 p.m.)

Another update

AA the elder has not petitoned SEC for waiver
AA the younger rumors are coming that he may push back decision to summer fall

 

[Whiskeyjack]

If Arik's interest in ND is serious, we'll know soon enough; we look like the only real option now for EE, basketball, and playing with his brother.

If it's within the realm of possibility, Kelly will close him this week.

 

[t3hjc]

I thought he wanted to play basketball.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

I thought he wanted to play basketball.

We also thought he wanted to EE and play with his brother. But if he's contemplating postponing his enrollment significantly, it would seem those things really aren't that important to him.

 

[koonja]

I just don't see him going through the HS course work to get to EE, have 3 schools he's considering as an EE option, and not EE. Maybe he wants to see who Cal hires?? Might still wanna go to Cal. Just a guess.

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

Hopefully we here something really legitimate tonight. NSD can't get here fast enough.

 

[Ironman8]

I that update is good news for us. If Armond has not filed paperwork and the reports that he loved ND are true, it seems pretty evident he is heading here. Now all it comes down to is if Arik will join him. I am sure he is weighing all things and has not decided yet, but I like our chances more now than I ever have.

Either way I think we will know tomorrow. He is almost assuredly only coming here if he is EEing.

 

[The Polish Irishman]

The sooner the better for us.

 

[Rocky2820]

While saying that taking more time to make his decision is an option this Auburn reporter did say, " I still think he'll make a choice sooner than later."

So by no stretch is it a given that he will not EE.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Keep in mind this is coming from what an Auburn report is "hearing," it is nothing that any of the Armsteads have actually said.

So Arik's set to EE, has ND in his final 2, Armond loved his visit to ND and now Arik is considering waiting?? Color me confused, but I thought our chances were better 10 minutes ago when Arik was EE-ing. If he wants to play with his brother so bad, why wait?

I agree, if he wanted to go to Auburn he would've already petitioned the SEC.
